How do two people know when love is real?
How can one be sure the other is not pretending
or only believing to be in love?
Some know,
said so
in the break room.
Don't know how lucky they are.

  1. Holy cow, heavy question. I think it's a matter of trusting the other person. Opening yourself up to be loved or to be hurt without knowing which will happen. Taking risks. Kinda scary, huh?

  2. I've been known to take a risk or two. Sometimes I forget that people are different and that I cannot, should not expect others to jump off a cliff just because I might. Thanks for coming over. =)

  3. Hey, Tales, I thought more about your comment on the big question. You only buy furniture you can't do without. You know it can't get up and leave, so you don't mind spending the money. People are not furniture, so it just depends on the potential value of the relationship, I suppose, as to whether or not one would take the risk. Probably for all people, the risk increases as the potential value increases. Some will be less inclined to risk more, while for others, like me, the higher potential value makes it even more worth the risk. That seems to take us to the simpler philosophy of half-empty, half-full, yes? You could just flip a coin, lol. 'Twould be a damn shame to miss out is my opinion. ;-)

  4. I suppose it does boil down to what's more important to you in respect to half-empty, half-full in combination with does the other person value the relationship as much as you. Tough one. I guess the old adage "Tis better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all", is true.
